Re: Linux OS Hardening Guidelines

[Cam Beasley <cam () AUSTIN UTEXAS EDU>]

Tim --

we used CIS as a basis for our Linux checklist:

 http://www.utexas.edu/its/policies/checklists/redhat-linux.html

and a few other platforms:

 http://www.utexas.edu/its/policies/checklists/macosx.html
 http://www.utexas.edu/its/policies/checklists/solaris10.html
 http://www.utexas.edu/its/policies/checklists/win2003.html

hope this helps,
